Trademark Management in Cambodia: Protecting Your Intellectual Property
Trademark protection in Cambodia is governed by the Law Concerning Marks, Trade Names and Acts of Unfair Competition and administered by the Department of Intellectual Property Rights (DIPR) under the Ministry of Commerce. As Cambodia continues to open its market to international business, it has become increasingly important for companies to manage and enforce their trademark rights in the country effectively.
At Liesegang & Partner, we support international and local clients with all aspects of trademark management in Cambodia — from routine administrative changes to legal representation in opposition proceedings. Our service ensures compliance with Cambodian IP law and helps you maintain a strong and enforceable brand in the region.
Our Trademark Management Services for Cambodia
We provide comprehensive legal services for managing and protecting your trademarks in Cambodia, including:
- Change of Contact Details of Trademark Owner in Cambodia
Keep your trademark record current by updating the owner's contact information in the Cambodian register. This ensures you receive official notifications without delay. - Change of Trademark Owner in Cambodia
Officially register a change in trademark ownership, such as in mergers, acquisitions, or assignments, to preserve enforceable rights. - Appointment of Legal Representative in Cambodia
Non-resident trademark owners must appoint a local representative. We offer qualified legal representation to fulfill this legal requirement. - Opposition Against a Trademark in Cambodia
If a new trademark application threatens your brand, you can file an opposition to prevent its registration. - Representation of Applicant in Opposition Proceedings in Cambodia
If your own trademark is opposed, we represent you in defending the application and ensuring your registration proceeds.
Why Are the Above Trademark Services Important?
These services are crucial for maintaining control, legal certainty, and exclusive rights over your brand in Cambodia:
- Change of Contact Details: Keeps communication channels open with the DIPR. Missing a notice due to outdated data can lead to legal disadvantages.
- Change of Ownership: A properly recorded ownership transfer is necessary for enforcement, renewal, licensing, or sale of trademark rights.
- Appointment of a Legal Representative: Foreign entities cannot maintain or enforce trademarks in Cambodia without a registered local agent. This is a legal prerequisite.
- Trademark Opposition: Prevents the registration of trademarks that are confusingly similar or damaging to your brand reputation and legal position.
- Opposition Defense: Ensures that your trademark application is protected against objections from third parties through professional legal argumentation and representation.
